My Nikon LS4000 has analog gain controls accessible through the Nikon
scanner driver. I can sometimes turn down the anaalog gain to get
more detail in light areas. Does your software and scanner have such
a feature?
Don't remember exactly the options on VueScan (have it and use it...)
but isn't there a way to turn the exposure way down (Manually) or set
the brightness to be very low?
